There's a peculiar and difficult to find bug in the re.sub method. Try following example:
>>> text = 'X'*4096
>>> nt = re.sub(u"XX", u".", text, re.U)
>>> nt
u'............XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (only 32 dots, the rest of the string is not changed).

If I first compile regexp, and then perform compiled_regexp.sub, everything seems to work correctly.
